Shoot, liking older music isn't a real secret with me. It is what I listen to...
Let me set an example and take the song 'House Of The Rising Sun'. Every band that wanted to get a name did the thing but only one that I know of thought that it could be a whole lot better and made it so. In 1969 the band Frijid Pink did just that. I would be amazed if you don't know the song but you may have not heard it quite like this. No video but the audio is quite good for the time. Actually the audio is pretty good for any time.

Also Karen Carpenter was a pretty decent drummer. Very seldom complicated but always very clean and precise.
